wayfinder

wayfinder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from asherzj/ashers-agent-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (3,285 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill for breaking work too large for one coding-agent session into decisions tracked as issues. An issue tracker is a system for recording work questions, their answers, and their relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a destination, create a shared map of decision issues, record decisions, track blockers, and identify the remaining planning frontier.
Why use it?
It makes an unclear, oversized project easier to understand by mapping the decisions needed before implementation begins.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also agents/openai.yaml present.

Good fit Use it to define a destination, create a shared map of decision issues, record decisions, track blockers, and identify the remaining planning frontier.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wayfinder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

一个松散的想法到来了:它大到单个 agent 会话装不下,还笼罩在迷雾中,从这里通往目的地(destination)的路还看不见。探路(wayfinding)要找的是这条路,而不是直冲目的地。本 skill 把这条路绘制成仓库工单系统(issue tracker)上的一张共享地图(shared map),然后逐一推进其中的决策工单(decision ticket)(这些问题各自的解答本身就是一个决策,而不是待执行的构建切片),直到路线清晰为止。

目的地因每项工作而异,为它命名是绘图的第一步:它塑造之后的每一张工单。它可以是一份用于交接和迭代的 spec(规格说明)、一个在规划开始前就要锁定的决策,也可以是一次就地完成的变更,比如数据结构迁移。这张地图与领域无关:工程工作、课程内容,任何符合这个形状的东西都可以。

规划,而非执行

Wayfinder 默认做的是规划:每张工单解决一个决策;当路径已清晰、在有人去实际动手之前再无待决事项时,地图就算完成。那种想直接把活干了的冲动,通常正说明你已到达地图的边缘,该交接了。一项工作可以在其 Notes 中覆盖这一默认,把执行也纳入地图本身;但若没有这类说明,就产出决策,而不是交付物。

用名称引用

每张地图和每张工单都是一个 issue,因此都有一个名字:它的标题。在人类阅读的一切内容里(叙述文字、地图的 Decisions so far),都用这个名字称呼它,绝不用裸的 id、编号或 slug。满屏的 #42, #43, #44 无法辨读;名字一眼即懂。id 和 URL 并不会消失:名字包裹着它的链接,它们_藏在_名字里面,绝不能取而代之。

地图

地图是本仓库工单系统上的单个 issue,带 wayfinder:map 标签,是权威工件。它的工单是地图的子 issue。

地图是索引,不是存储。它列出已做出的决策,并指向承载细节的工单;一个决策只存在于一个地方——它的工单——所以地图从不复述决策,只给出摘要和链接。

地图、其子工单、阻塞关系以及前沿(frontier)查询实际存放在哪里,因工单系统而异。 工单系统本应已经提供给你。如果没有,请让用户运行 /setup-engineering-skills。请查阅工单系统文档中的“寻路操作”一节,了解_本_仓库如何表达这些内容。如果确实没有提供任何工单系统,默认使用本地 Markdown 工单系统。

地图正文

整张地图的低分辨率视图,每个会话加载一次。open 状态的工单列出:它们是 open 的子 issue,靠查询获取。

## Destination

<what reaching the end of this map looks like: the spec, decision, or change this effort is finding its way to. One or two lines; every session orients to it before choosing a ticket.>

## Notes

<domain; skills every session should consult; standing preferences for this effort>

## Decisions so far

<!-- the index: one line per closed ticket, enough to judge relevance, then zoom the link for the detail the ticket holds -->

- [<closed ticket title>](link): <one-line gist of the answer>

## Not yet specified

<!-- see "Fog of war": in-scope fog you can't ticket yet; graduates as the frontier advances -->

## Out of scope

<!-- see "Out of scope": work ruled beyond the destination; closed, never graduates -->

工单

每张工单都是地图的子 issue;工单系统的 issue id 就是它的身份标识。工单正文就是问题本身,规模以一个 100K token 的 agent 会话为限:

## Question

<the decision or investigation this ticket resolves>

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
